| X4564 Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} /Dn3/HP19.6.23. Please note that we have received from Messrs. Elliott Bros. London., one Accelerometer No.358 which we are instructing the stores to send to your department. On the advice note accompanying this instrument Messrs. Elliott Bros. state "Kindly return instrument No.323 at your earliest convenience". We take it that the instrument which they are now sending is one which is being sent in exchange for one which we already have. Please let us know if the instrument already in our possession is our property or is merely a sample loaned by them, so that we can advise the Accounts Department. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} | ||
